Entity feed

Create and upload Entity feeds

When you create and upload Entity feeds, make sure that you're following these instructions:

  • Follow the spec described in the Entity feed for Entity data files. You must use unique Entity data file names between uploads. It is recommended to include a timestamp in the file name, for example, Entity1_1633621547.json.
  • In the fileset descriptor, set the name field to reservewithgoogle.entity. For an example of the descriptor file, refer to the Descriptor file JSON sample. You must use unique descriptor file names between uploads. It is recommended to include a timestamp in the file name, for example, Entity1_1633621547.filesetdesc.json. The descriptor file must be uploaded to the generic SFTP dropbox.
  • Feeds must be uploaded to the generic SFTP dropbox daily as full refreshes.
  • You can find generic feed SFTP dropbox info in the Configuration > Feeds section of the partner portal.
  • Selecting feed dropboxes

  • You can find generic feed ingestion status in the Feeds > History section of the partner portal.
